Starting this made me think back to when shoes became a thing for me, I was a teenager (really I was, I know it was decades go, but I can still remember when) and there were two things I saw that made me go weak at the knees, a pair of dress boots - not work boot - not cowboy boots - but spectacular dressy - I had to have them. And Adidas tennis shoes, in light blue swede with three white stripes down the side - they were sexy!
Over the years the obsession has taken various forms. Cole Hahn driving mocs, I had almost every variety of those they made at one point, exotic leathers, I had a wonderful pair of crocodile shoes - that were terribly uncomfortable but looked amazing.
Anymore it is comfort or not at all, and I have a huge pile of athletic shoes in my closet. Different colors, different styles, different manufactures. The one thing they have in common is comfort. But color and style will motivate me to buy.
The shoes above (not a good photo) are black leather covered in what I can only describe as bubble wrap. Unique, but not for me.
